Yeah, I actually have a reason for that. But... I'll give one.
Assumption one: You assumed that swift assumed that a creator plopped us down without the means to adapt. That assumption doesn't even make sense.

Can we get a do-over?

Since evolution removed the need for a creator- we just sent out a memo.

If you said ten years, or around a hundred, I'd buy into that, but not thousands or millions of years.

That was my fault for not being clear.
The millenia I refer to is to demonstrate how even the unlikely odds can have a chance of appearing when given enough time.
If I play the Lottery, buy a ticket every week, the odds are very against me.
But if I buy Lotto tickets over the course of thousands of years, I am bound to win eventually.

I'm not saying there aren't, I just want to know how they came up with millions of years. Is that according to some calculation that states that X amount of change occurs over T amount of time and these fish calculate out to millions of years according to an equation? Where is the empirical evidence in that?

I'm curious as to why you said "the same kind of fish headed into caves."
Where is your evidence for that claim?
If a whole bunch of fish got trapped in a cave- then all this time later we see one primary species that survived over all others- this does not mean that all the same kind of fish headed into the cave. It means that species survived over all others.
